Install in VS Code

2. Copilot Chat in Agent mode picks up the tools.

Run in a terminal

$code --add-mcp '{"name":"photoshop","command":"npx","args":["-y","@alisaitteke/photoshop-mcp"]}'

If the button does nothing, paste this into your config instead

mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "photoshop": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@alisaitteke/photoshop-mcp"
      ],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

Where to paste itWorkspace .vscode/mcp.json, or Command Palette → "MCP: Add Server"
